stdifu0.png
upper left panel: extracted and summed up object spectrum
middle left panel: sky spectrum
lower left panel: details of sky spectrum with comparison to nominal wavelengths of sky lines
upper right panel: efficiency vs. wavelength for all 4 quadrants;
they are plotted per wavelength bin and as a smoothed and interpolated version
middel right panel: current response curve compared to master response
lower right panel: reconstructed field of view; combined image for all 4 quadrants
QC1PARAM QC1 parameters written in QC1 database: efficiency1 | efficiency2 | ... | efficiency15
ALGORITHM Description of algorithms:
efficiencyNN: ratio of the detected number of photons to the real number of photons at dedicated wavelength ranges
CERTIF Reasons for rejection:
observation without attached (mandatory) calibrations,
badly reconstructed IFU image,
low flux because of instrumental problems or unstable weather conditions
